Just stumbled across this beautiful and kinky editorial in which Marcelina Sowa gets swathed in latex and leather in front of Angelo D’Agostino’s lens. The shooting was Fashion Gone Rouge exclusive last year and…if for some reasons I missed it, it’s just too hot not to post it now. Hitting the gritty streets, Marcelina wears sexy ensembles from two of my fav lingerie labels, Agent Provocateur and Atsuko Kudo, styled by Lisa Jarvis.

Christmas is just around the corner and is just another good excuse to party and have fun!

So, if you happen to be in Milan in these pre-holidays time don’t miss the fab “Circo de Nuit” in Milan (Saturday 15.12 – Palazzo del Ghiaccio – via Piranesi 14 from 5pm to 2 am) with its sick line-up - KASPER BJORKE (dj set) KADEBOSTANY (live). And on Sunday let’s be there to shop non-stop and get lost in between design, food and music at at Circo delle Pulci (12.30/22.30pm). Enjoy!

So here is his latest shooting, an awesome still life serie, shot in the amazing location L’HOTEL in Lausanne. It features the beautiful shoes handmade by Swiss artist from Geneva, Low Weakness. I love the way Made in Varma captured the essence of the shoes seen as pieces of art. The artist inspiration was in fact to present the shoes like a valuable piece of jewelry, which generally always come in little boxes made out of precious wood. He wanted to show the people, that shoes are not just a vulgar object that you can buy for 1000 francs in a ridiculous box made out of cardboard.

Here is what the Low Weakness says about the project:

“I chose a marine theme for the shoes, which is represented in the navy-blue color, the wood which makes a reference to the wood of yachts and in the buttons which have a little anchor symbol on the top surface. Shoe size: 38.5The heel and the platform of the shoes are made out of cherry wood. They are entirely made out of leather, 100% suede.To produce the shoes it took me 6 month of work without stress, or 1 month of very intense commitment.The box is custom-made by myself. I used partly cherry wood like in the shoes, but also bird’s-eye maple and ebony. For the lock I used the same buttons as for the shoes . The inside of the box is a mould of the shoes, coated with beige rose leather, like the soles.”
